Donald Teskey was born in Co. Limerick in 1956. He graduated from Limerick College of Art and Design with a Diploma in Fine
Art in 1978. He came to prominence as an artist during the 1980s, with several significant solo exhibitions as well as being the recipi-
ent of awards in EVA and the Claremorris Open Exhibition. In 2003 he was elected a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy. The
images reflect his response to the formal elements of composition; shape, form and the fall of light. Works are made in his studio but
based on extensive studies and detailed notes. The result is powerful images of instantly recognisable parts of the Irish landscape
with large abstract passages and surfaces which articulate the relentless energetic and elemental force of nature.
